Want to get rid of Homebrew and such and update the Wii naturally, Can I?

I'm basically done with my Wii, nothing more I have any interest in, and I was planning on selling it, and a friend of mine wants it, but wants it without all that stuff, how do I go about removing the homebrew and such and just going ahead nad updating the Wii with the lastest Version? I don't Risk updating it if it's going to brick on me, so I need to know how to just go about getting it back to normal. Thanks in Advance.

I guess I should mention this, as I have searched around and found lots of different ways, but nothing that strictly addresses what I need to know.

I have a Wii with Homebrew channel only, and Gecko, just so I can play imports, It's firmware is currently 4.1u, which I used the homebrew channel to update to that, can I just format the system, and then update it, or do I update it and then format it? I don't want to brick it, I just want to get it to it's default set up.
